Messines Avenue and Mons Avenue at Edwardstown, South Australia, were named to commemorate Great War Battles. For decades an Avenue of Honour of two rows of English Elm trees on Messines Avenue has been a visible reminder of the tremendous loss, sacrifice and service.

A new mural on a building wall on the northern side of the avenue is a visual depiction of Great War scenes and memorabilia.
